Walt still fighting strongly

Cousin Tip just called with an Update on Walt today.

Walt is sedated and he is holding steady. They are still waiting for results from tests taken on Tuesday (It takes 72 hours for the results to come in) So hopefully by tomorrow the staff will know what they are dealing with and can give a more targetted treatment.

Walt we are so proud of how strongly you are fighting to come back for Patty, Lindsay, Brian, Tip and the rest of your family and friends that love you so much.

Jim and Betsy (and many of our friends in the Northwest) are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank God! Tuesday was such a nightmare to see him fighting to breathe made me crazy. I am really happy that they were able to get a culture of fluid so they can target the right infectious process and get it out of his body. Did anyone ask about his rash and any correlation to Steven-Johnson Syndrome. Just wondering being the nurse in the family, I just want to make sure! Love all of you and will see you after work on Friday. Love, Linda

To our precious family nurse-Linda-Yes, I did ask the doctor about SJS and she said that he does not have it. I just want to comment on how my day went. I have not seen Walter open his eyes or communicate with me since Sunday (one of the 3 days from hell). But today he did open his eyes for me 4 times and nodded yes when I asked him if he was OK. This really puts in perspective when someone asks you "How was your day" Oh this driver maybe cut you off or the line was a little too long in Wegmans and you had to wait. But seeing how Walter's days have been the past month makes us all appreciate life so much more and please treasure every day and kiss the ones you love and tell them you love them so. Because life can change "in an instant" Go Walter GO!!!!!!!! This note is from Patty
